Subhumans are not good at fighting.

At first, Fang Zheng didn't quite understand the meaning of the sunglasses merchant's words, but when the facts were in front of him, he quickly understood.

It's not a physical problem, it's an internal ......... Strictly speaking, it is a matter of the spiritual level.

Although the two little girls were very brave at the beginning, just pulling out the sword in their hands made them tremble with fright, and even if they were beaten, they didn't dare to fight back. I don't know if this is the long-standing nature of the subhumans, or if it is a sequelae of the slave period.

If it was usual, Fang Zheng let them retreat. But before leaving, he also got another piece of information from the bald store manager.........

"I know you don't want to fight, but you've heard from the store manager that when the tide comes, the brave and his companions will be teleported to the place where the wave is happening. That said, there is no guarantee that we will be teleported together, and if we are together, then of course I can protect you. But if we're separated and teleported to different locations, then it's up to you! ”

Fang Zheng clenched his shield axe and roared loudly.

"Now, you only have two ways to go, one is to pick up the weapons in your hands and fight, and the other is to leave me and disteam up with me, so that when the tide happens, you will not be teleported to the battlefield!"

Although according to the system settings, it should be possible to cancel the team, but Fang Zheng tried it, but found that these two little girls could not cancel the team.

How to put it, it's like an NPC that must be added when passing the story level in an RPG game, and there is no way to change people.

There was always a sense of malice.

"Hmm........."

Hearing Fangzheng's speech, the two little girls glanced at each other, then nodded with determination, and then Raphtalia shouted loudly.

"I, I'm going to fight!"

"Me too, I'm going to follow the side of the Shield Brave!"

While shouting, the two little girls clenched the short swords in their hands and stabbed at the balloon-like monster in front of them. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he immediately let go of Long Wei, who was originally bound to the balloon monster.

"Squeak!!"

The balloon monster, which had lost Long Wei's oppression, also screamed at this time, and then pounced on the two of them.

Although it was a little rough, the two of them still tried their best to kill the balloon monster in front of them, and then gained experience points and successfully leveled up.

By the way, the people of this world don't seem to be the same as the people in the general game world, just like in the world of SAO, in order to do something closer to reality, so NPCs don't know what attributes and levels and the like, only the player can see them. Because it will be more "realistic".

But in this world, even ordinary people seem to be able to understand game terms like "level", "teleportation", and "attributes".

Maybe people born from a similar game world will be like this, after all, level or something, for them are commonplace, if they know it from birth, then naturally it will only be regarded as a normal thing.

Only those who have traveled from other worlds will be surprised by this.

Although strictly speaking, the battle between the two children is indeed a bit cruel, but Fang Zheng, who has traveled through various worlds, has not relented because of this. After all, in the end, everyone can only protect themselves, and if they can't even protect themselves, they can't protect others. All Fang Zheng can do is help them grow and have strength, but if they don't cheer themselves up and face the reality, they can't just hide behind.

Even Dome and Shiito have begun to study hard to communicate with others.

The first day of exercise only took half a day, after all, I was still a child, and after I was promoted to the third level, I was too tired to move.

"Alright, that's all for today."

Seeing that the sky had darkened, Fang Zheng also clapped his hands, and then he stretched out his hand, a little in the air, and soon, a halo appeared in front of Fang Zheng.

"Let's go."

"Ah, yes........."

Although they didn't know what it was, the two little guys obediently followed Fang Zheng into the halo.

Then, their eyes widened in surprise.

On the other side of the halo, there is a rather warm and spacious space, with a fire burning in the fireplace on the side, a sofa and rocking chair next to it that look very comfortable, a variety of books and a series of game consoles on the bookshelf not far away, and an LCD TV hanging on the wall.

That's right, it's exactly the Mage Mansion!

Of course, the ordinary mage's mansion is to recreate the scene in the mage's memory, and for the ordinary mage, they will only embody places like taverns, but for Fangzheng, there are many more that can be reproduced.

Of course, Founder's favorite is to lean on the rocking chair by the fireplace, while flipping through the book and thinking, feeling the warmth under the dim firelight, listening to the sound of crackling firewood burning, which always makes people feel peaceful.

"Master."

Soon, a magic servant walked out of it and saluted Fang Zheng respectfully.

"Ready to eat."

"Okay, it's ready."

The dinner was naturally quite sumptuous, and the two little girls were also very happy, not only that, but they also ate quite a lot of food, so that Fang Zheng was a little worried about whether the two little girls would eat bad stomachs......... But fortunately, after scanning with the terminal, it was found that the bodies of the two were not abnormal, and Fang Zheng was also relieved.

As for the fact that the two little girls each ate two adult portions of food......... It can only be classified as the subhuman itself has a strong appetite.

After dinner, the two little girls went to take a shower and went to sleep in the guest room, while Fang Zheng sat in a rocking chair by the fireplace, staring at the burning fire and began to think.

about this world.

About the mission this time.

The cry for help that came from the ear before was undoubtedly Raphtalia's, after all, the voice was exactly the same, and after rescuing Raphtalia and Lifana, the voice disappeared.

However, the task was not completed.

At present, the option to return to the Overworld in the Dimensional Codex is gray, that is, what you think in this world is not complete. Although the "Aid Mission" is activated, there is no specific mission information, only a line of names.

So I was pitted by this turtle son again.

Of course, the aid mission itself is also a hint, and there is only one mission that you have been summoned to in this world, and that is to stop the tide and save the world as a shield hero.

However, Fang Zheng is not the three middle two teenagers, and after listening to the other party's praise, he triumphantly said, "Okay, leave it to me."

The first thing he wants to investigate is the specific situation in this world.

Having traveled through so many worlds, Founder has understood that each world has different characteristics, and the reasons for these different characteristics.

For example, the game world of SAO, because it is a game world, the existence of skills, levels, and experience points is normal. In the Overworld, his own dimensional code system comes from the Order Seal of the Goddess of Order, and it will be transformed into the existence of a similar system because of his qualifications.

So, what about the world?

The people of this world are accustomed to level, experience points, attributes, etc., but in fact, according to the bald boss, this world has something called the hourglass of the dragon carving, which can calculate the timing of the arrival of the wave.

And when the tide comes, the brave and their companions will be transported to the place where the wave takes place.

Of course, if it's just the game setting, it's not a problem at all.

After all, it's a game, even if it's set to save the world only by having children.

But this is a real world, then the question arises.

As you can see from the system code of the shield, all this is artificial.

The so-called Four Sacred Weapons, the so-called levels, attributes, and experience points, can predict the hourglass of the arrival of the wave, and teleport to the point of occurrence when the wave arrives.

All this can be seen as traces of man-made.

Then the question arises.

Legend has it that the Four Holy Heroes will save the world.

However, the system used by the Four Holy Heroes was obviously not made by themselves.

So, what about the guy who made the Four Holy Warriors system?

And the waves, although the people of this country regard them as disasters, but if you look at it from the perspective of a game, isn't it actually equivalent to a large-scale battlefield or an event like an invasion of Warcraft?

Then again, is the wave really a disaster?

The original Four Holy Warriors system was to resist the wave, but in that case, why didn't the people who made the system directly destroy the wave, but also make such a system?

Or is it like a virus invasion, which can only be eliminated by anti-virus software, and the Sisheng system is anti-virus software and firewall?

Is it because it can't be completely wiped out? Like chaos?

Anyway, let's investigate it first, and if it goes well, maybe it can be used as a rehearsal for resisting chaos.

"Ahhhhh!!hh

Just as Fang Zheng was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly, a scream came, startling him. Fang Zheng hurriedly stood up and walked towards the place where the voice came from.

Pushing open the door of the guest room, I saw Raphtalia sitting on the bed, waving her hands desperately.

"Dad, Mom!! Ahh ”

"Uh......... Woo..............."

Although Lifana on the other side did not speak, she also curled up in pain, trembling uncontrollably.

Traumatic?

This situation is not uncommon for Fang Zheng, the cursed children of the dark world have had a similar reaction when they were first rescued by Fang Zheng, and although they have started a new life, the nightmare of the past still haunts their hearts. At that time, it took a lot of effort for Fang Zheng to appease these children.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and gently stroked the heads of the two, and soon, a flash of holy light emerged from his hand.

Wrapped in the holy light, Raphtalia, who had been screaming wildly, and Lifana, who was moaning in pain, gradually calmed down. Gradually, they fell into a deep sleep again.

This time, let's hope they can have a good dream.

When Fang Zheng woke up, it was already the next morning. It's just that on either side of his body, Raphtalia and Lifana, who are lying on the bed, are still asleep.

"Hmm........."

After a few moments, Raphtalia shuddered, then slowly opened her eyes.

"Yo, morning."

"Huh?"

Hearing Fangzheng's greeting, Raphtalia couldn't help but be stunned, but after seeing the scene in front of her clearly, she suddenly showed a surprised expression.

It's no wonder that the scene in front of me is quite comical, there are two beds in the room, Raphtalia and Lifana sleep one on each other, and Fang Zheng sits in the chair in the middle. It's just that his two arms are hugged by the two of them one by one, so it presents such a comical scene.

"Huh? Alas?! ”

"Okay, it looks like it's okay, so just wait for this ........."

"Whew......"

As she spoke, Lifana woke up as well, yawned, opened her eyes, and .........

"Huh? Brave man? I, I ........."

"Alright, get up and pack up and get ready for dinner."

Fang Zheng stood up and moved his slightly stiff arm.

"Next, we're going to continue leveling."

After breakfast, the two followed Fang Zheng out of the mage's mansion and continued to walk all the way down the forest, killing all the monsters they encountered in front of them. When encountering a high level, Fang Zheng will use a shield axe to cut it down to increase experience, and if the low level is low, let Raphtalia and Lifana go up to practice.

Maybe it's because they're full, and the two little guys are also quite desperate. In this way, after passing through the forest, we came to a nearby place called the village of Lute.

There, Fang Zheng was treated the same way as other places, most of them were disgusted and indifferent to him, and the few who spoke did not show any emotion, as if they were counting on Fang Zheng to leave sooner.

"These people are too much, Lord Brave."

Leaving the village, Lifana finally couldn't help but complain.

"Brave man, do you really want to fight for these people?"

"It depends."

In contrast, Founder is very calm.

"You know what? Lifana, I'm not a good person. In fact, the reaction of these people to me was also expected, and it is not surprising. ”

"But, Lord Brave, you have obviously been wronged......"

During the dinner yesterday, Fang Zheng also told Raphtalia and Lifana about what happened after he was summoned to this world, of course, Fang Zheng told it as a joke, but obviously both of them were quite angry.

"So I'll give them a chance."

"Opportunity?"

Hearing this, Raphtalia looked at Fang Zheng curiously.

"What chance?"

"Listen, Raphtalia, Lifana."

Saying this, Fang Zheng stopped and looked at them.

"As for me, it is true that I am fighting to protect humanity and the world, but it also depends on the occasion and situation. In the case of those people just now, their attitude towards me is not difficult to understand because of the orders of the idiot king. After all, you can't just trust people without contact with them. Just like you, if a criminal communicates with you, you will avoid it because you are not sure if the other person is really a bad person or if he has been wronged, right? ”

"This ..............."

"But ............"

"So in this case, I'll give them a chance, but only this once."

"Once?"

"That's right, I don't care about the attitude of the first person I met. But if they still have this attitude after fighting to protect them, then it's a different story. If I don't care about this, I'll sit back and watch him die, because he obviously doesn't care about my help and protection, and then I don't need to protect him. And if those guys who are protected by me still speak ill of me, or even hostile to me........."

"What will happen?"

"I'll kill them."

"Huh?"

Hearing this unexpected answer, Raphtalia and Lifana were stunned.

"I said, I'm only going to protect the people I want to protect, I'm not going to protect those white-eyed wolves with wolf hearts. Those who have received my favors, not only do not thank me, but even try to take revenge, I will kill them directly. There is no point in letting this kind of person live in the wave, it is better for me to do it myself, one to kill the other. ”

"But, but ..............."

"There is a good saying, treat the enemy like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and as cold as the harsh winter. If the dust is not swept, it will not run on its own. ”

Saying this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"I love those who love me, I hate those who hate me, you see, it's that simple."
